Lipids build the membranes that surround the cell and separate its internal compartments from each other. This is what gives each compartment in the cell its own identity and makes normal cell function possible. For this system to work, lipids must constantly be transported precisely between different membranes. This is a process that scientists have long had limited understanding of.
